Answer:

C. 6.4 x 10⁴

Explanation:

To write this number in scientific notation, we must move the decimal behind the first non-zero digit in the number. That digit is 6; this makes the decimal portion 6.4.

We must count the number of places we move the decimal. To move it from the end of the number to the decimal is a move of 4 spaces; this makes the correct answer

6.4 x 10⁴.
